Amazon has neutered the Buy buttons for all comic book and graphic novel publishers distributed by Diamond Comics Distributors, according to Calvin Reid of Publishers Weekly. But this is not a trade dispute like Amazon vs. Macmillan, but rather “an effort to correct the glitch that caused the wild discounting of graphic novels on Amazon.com,” writes Reid, who adds that “there has been speculation that the glitch was caused by Diamond.”
Frozen in time, space and commerce are such leaders as Marvel, IDW, Dark Horse, Archaia, Image Comics, and Top Shelf. Reid explains that “Amazon has to do an audit to figure out which customers got books and at what prices.”
When will the buttons be turned on again? It will take a superhero who can see into the future. “There is no timetable for when this will be completed,” one source was quoted in Reid’s news story.
